Suspended silence after service • Taken from the project Stella Maris • I never had a deep understanding of religion, l never understood what it is. Growing up. I formed my own path of belief. I was curious about religion and wanted to understand peoples dedication towards it. This project, Stella Maris, was the opportunity to answer my curiosity. It was not the stereotypical symbolism that drew me to this project, such as the churches and services, but the people who are the religious community for their chosen beliefs. My project took me to unexpected locations, which until now, I did not expect to find these communities in. With every group of people that I met, I was welcomed with open arms. Each individual was caring and willingly spoken to me about their personal spiritual journey. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity, and invaluable experience. • #pentax6x7#kodakportra400#120#mediumformat#documentaryphotography#dailydocumenting#projectwork#solentbaphotography

Sharing some of my more recent portraits. Over the last 6 weeks I've been on the 'Nature Connectors' course as part of @wildinthecityuk which teaches us about being outdoors; bushcraft, identifying plants and trees, learning about how we affect the earth and how we can work with it, being in the wild and the like. I was privileged and honoured to be allowed to make photographs of the members of my group, and pleased to see how well they came out. As well as developing my style, I've been trying my hand at medium format and have been amazed at the difference when photographing people; not just the amazing quality and feel, but the reactions you receive when using a film camera is sometimes much more open and less reluctant. Tomorrow I'll be debuting a new portrait that I'm quite excited about. Watch this space 👀 This is @ameenarojee taking over for Photo Scratch. (L-R: Mike, Reeta, Elizabeth, Hanna)

Morning all! This is @ameenarojee on day four taking over for Photo Scratch. Today I'm sharing some of my portraiture work with you; it's only recently in the last couple of years that I realised how much I loved to photograph people. It started back in university when I started to collaborate with people outside of university to improve my work, so I started doing what could loosely (very, very loosely 😂) be called "fashion" photography. Then, after I left my first post-university job, I tried to go back to it and realised how much I actually disliked trying to photograph clothes - it was more the people who I was interested in. Since then, I've been slowly taking more and more portraits and working up the skill and confidence to do so; having been such a shy and solitary person when I was a child and still now, I find it difficult to approach people even when I know them and especially when they're strangers. But I'm slowly getting there! (L-R: Tim Andrews, 2017; Tim, 2016; Kitty @kittyunderhillx, 2018; Chloe, 2014; Momo, 2014; Eduardo, 2014; Alexander, 2014)
